    Absolutely, Greg Brown is one of the main reasons I've remained a Pirates fan all these years through thin and thin. (That's right; I said, "through thin and thin.") When he calls a "Bucco Blast," you remember it! He really enhances the game experience. The entire Bucs broadcast team does a great job maintaining enthusiasm, helping us keep hope alive--year in, year out.

      Honestly, same here. The MLB either needs to step in, like ye olde Expos, or the Penguins ownership group needs to buy them. I live where I can readily see both the Bucs and the former Indians, and the Pirates are just broken. I sat through the days of Doumit, Mclouth, Wilson, Maholm, Bay, etc., and I don't see anything outside of an ownership change that could bring me back. And that sucks, since for YEARS, being a Pirates, not Indians fan, was my baseball life.

    I feel so bad for him to see them lose right away in 1993 when he came to the pirates broadcasting team. 1993 was the first year of the 20 losing season streak. I can’t believe he still has has enthusiasm for the pirates. The pirates for me have always been bad since I was born in 1995. 2013 was a welcome sense of relief and knowing the pirates will not be losers for my whole life on earth.

    • @sportsygirl8
      @sportsygirl8 Před 6 lety +1

      Same here, I was born in 1991, but wouldn't remember seeing a winning season or not, but all I knew growing up was the Pirates were bad and then in 2011 I thought they were going to turn it around, but then collapsed, but 2013 was the best season and my first time ever seeing a Pirates winning season in my life.
